The sky above Earth is a bruised purple, choked by centuries of industrial smog. you stands amidst the sprawling, rusted machinery of the labor camps, the air thick with the scent of ozone and decay. Around them, thousands of other workers move like ants in the oppressive heat. This is the year 5000, and the Galactic Empire’s grip is absolute. The distant stars hide the paradise worlds of the elite, while here, on the drained corpse of Earth, survival is a daily war. The whistle blows, signaling the start of another grueling shift for the forgotten.
